Ever seen this?

[RoyalPythonPros]

I got a new female as a rescue and while looking at her saw something I never had on any of my BPs. She has a very distinctive pink belly. I know she's just a normal but has anyone seen that before or have any idea what it would be from?

Within 2 weeks you will be the proud owner of shed snake skin, that snake is going into shed

I know she's in shed but I've had her 2 months and she's always had the pink. She shed the day before I got her.

What type of bedding do you have her on? Is it possible she's allergic to it?

My ball pythons get pink bellies when they sit on their heat tape for too long. It's not unusual at all. It's just like you getting pink after sitting in the bathtub for too long.

you can see the see the "gray" working up the sides.

She's in aspen and always has been. She also spends more time on the cool side of the bin than anything so the burn theory might actually make sense.

I get what you 2 are saying but she shed the day before I got her. She was still like this after the shed and all the way till now when she's going into shed again.

Possibly a burn in the process of healing?

High belly heat will cause a rosy belly too. I've gotten a few snakes like that before. Especially since you are using a substrait that they can burrow into, check the actual temp at the TUB FLOOR. I can be significantly higher than the surface of your substrait. I wouldn't go higher than 92f at the tub surface.

You said before you got her 2 months ago, so she is about due for another shed. My money is on shed I actually asked this same question years ago when I first joined this forum even though I had owned the snake in question for years guess I just never noticed it before.

Here's a neat shed-belly I got last year. This showed up pretty far in advance to a shed and went away right after the shed. This snake was not subjected to anything different from his neighbors and still does this way in advance of a shed cycle. This is a little bit different from the standard pink I see, but shows symptoms can be displayed far in advance. No, it's not a yellow belly

I think this answers the question, The End.
